Thread: Training for show... Need info please!

Alright, this will be my first show ever... Hopefully it will not be my last! I have heard that some shows test for steroids and what not. Does anyone know how often this is done? It's the GK Classic in N.C. in August. I'm sure that I can be provided more info when I sign up, but in anyone else's experience assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the cycle that I am going to use, just because it seemed to work best for me in the past:

Week 1 - 12
750mg Test E EW (Monday - Thursday)
400mg Deca EW (Monday - Thursday) <-- Is this enough or too much?
Should I start with D-bol for first couple weeks? If so, suggested amounts? I used D-bol during my first cycle of injectables and found that it just KICKED MY ASS! I was tired all the time. Is there anything that can counter the lethargy? Caffeine pills? Red Bull? Crack? (just kidding) Anything?

Week 3 – 16
700iu HCG EW (Tuesday and Friday) Should I increase this?

Week 13 Start PCT
Day 1 – 3 Nolvadex 60mg
Day 4 – 7 Nolvadex 50mg
Should I run Clomid along with Nolvadex? I did my last cycle, but was just for precautions. Not 100% sure if it was necessary. If so, suggestions?

Week 14 Contin. PCT
40mg Nolvadex ED
Clomid if necessary

Week 15 Contin. PCT
30mg Nolvadex ED
Clomid if necessary

Week 16 Contin. PCT
20mg Nolvadex ED
Clomid if necessary

I plan on starting my cycle mid beginning to mid February. With that, I would have to wait till July (if I run proper amount of time off) before starting another cycle of anything. With that, I would want to run a cutting cycle, which I’ve never done. Any suggestions for that? (e.g. best cutting cycle experiences, etc.) Would 4 weeks be enough time for cutting after 6 months of SOLID bulking? (12 Week Test Cycle Bulking, 12 Week Off Test Cycle Bulking, 4 Week On Cycle Cutting)

I know that I'm asking for a lot of info, so please be patient with me. I will be researching more and more, but was hoping to just get some personal experience feedback.

Thanks--

I started talking with someone to help me train for the show and she told me that the NPA (National Physique Association) does drug test for competitions. So there goes that idea, unless I want to do it naturally. Which, it may be A LOT harder to do, but overall if I did well I would probably feel better about myself... Whatevers! The NPC (National Physique Committee) doesn't test so I might go that route and find a show around the same time frame as this other one. But does anyone have any suggestions for the cycle that I stated before?
